For the Honey Lime Vinaigrette

  • 1 teaspoon lime zest freshly grated

  • 1/4 cup olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly cracked

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by slicing the watermelon into bite-sized cubes or using a melon baller for playful shapes. In a large mixing bowl, hull the strawberries and slice them into thin pieces, adding them to the bowl with watermelon. For an aromatic touch, finely slice fresh mint and basil leaves, then sprinkle them over the fruit to combine the flavors beautifully.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together ¼ cup of honey, the zest of one lime, and the freshly squeezed juice from that lime, adding a pinch of sea salt for flavor enhancement. Gradually drizzle in ¼ cup of olive oil while whisking continuously, until the mixture is smooth and well-blended, ensuring that the honey lime vinaigrette has a glossy finish.
  3. Drizzle half of the prepared honey lime vinaigrette over the vibrant mixture of strawberries and watermelon, using a large spoon to gently toss the fruits until they are evenly coated in the dressing. To keep the freshness and crunch of this Strawberry Watermelon Salad, serve it immediately and enjoy the burst of sweetness and refreshing herbs.
